Hot Banana and FuseTalk Enter Strategic Alliance for Easier, Centralized Management of Discussion Forums and Online Communities
Unveiled at the Adobe Conference - MAX 2006, the Hot Banana and FuseTalk partnership includes technology integration and reseller agreement.
LAS VEGAS, NV (PRWEB) October 26, 2006
Hot Banana Software Inc. (www. hotbanana. com), a leader in Web content management software for marketing, and a wholly owned subsidiary of J. L. Halsey (OTCBB:JLHY), today announced a strategic partnership with FuseTalk Inc. (www. fusetalk. com) that gives users a faster, easier way to build online communities, share information and manage discussion-forum logins from within Hot Banana's Web content management system – Web CMS.
With both products built on Adobe's ColdFusion MX platform and both companies active Adobe Solution Partners, Hot Banana unveiled the new integration partnership at the MAX 2006 Adobe User Conference, here through Oct. 26. Under the agreement, both companies will resell and market each other's products.
FuseTalk, a wholly owned subsidiary of Future Path Development Group, is a top provider of discussion forums, blogging tools and collaboration solutions. A single FuseTalk installation can run a thousand different forums – all with different access rights and users. The joint Hot Banana/FuseTalk solution provides a single sign-on, so Web site administrators can simultaneously control forum logins and update the Web pages where FuseTalk resides.
The Archdiocese of New York and Boom Chicago, have already deployed the joint FuseTalk/Hot Banana solution for their Web sites.
"FuseTalk's ability to centrally manage multiple discussion forums is already best-of-breed – but now we're taking it to the next level by fully integrating FuseTalk within a Web content management system," said Greg Waite, president, FuseTalk. "With Hot Banana, administrators will now have one place to go to manage discussion-forum logins, as well as blogs, RSS feeds and Web-publishing tasks."
"Our clients have been asking us for the best way to build interactive communities where they can share knowledge, exchange information and views, and help solve problems – so we choose FuseTalk to be our best-of-breed partner and integrate their solution into our Web CMS," said Krista LaRiviere, general manager and co-founder, Hot Banana.
"Adobe ColdFusion MX developers will really appreciate this joint Hot Banana/FuseTalk integration because both companies have strong ColdFusion roots and believe that third-party integrations should be a snap," LaRiviere added.
Hot Banana is built upon ColdFusion MX technology and is the leading ColdFusion CMS solution. Its semi-open architecture allows developers to leverage the power of ColdFusion MX for the creation and publishing of Web content and to extend features, tools and module capabilities. Using the licensed version of Hot Banana as a ColdFusion CMS enables developers to easily add custom code and integrate with additional third-party or custom Web applications.
